• Parents- Too much “wait and see”• Patients- Lack of knowledge regarding how to help themselves beyond bracing and waiting• Therapists- Inadequately educated and equipped in scoliosis treatment• Orthotists-Traditional bracing lacks 3-D corrections, resulting in flat back and other poor cosmetic changes• Doctors- Is there a way to help patients sooner?

• Primarily Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Treatment• Deformities in the Sagittal Plane ( Scheurmann’s,
Hyper-Kyphosis and Hyper- Lordosis
• Curve Specific
• Cognitive, sensory- motor, kinesthetic, neuromuscular exercises to reduce scoliosis posture
